Title: As good as San Diego gets

Review: There may be restaurants just a tick above Tapenade -- I have never dined at Mille Fleurs or Azzura Point, for example -- but for classic French cuisine with a California twist, look no further. Service (sometimes an Achilles heel here in town) is first rate, professional yet affable, wine list is outstanding, and both the presentations and the cooking are stellar. It's possible to dine relatively affordably, too, but the tasting menu is worth every penny. Very highly recommended by a someone who's dined in SF, New York, Paris, London, and many points in between.

Title: Our favorite restaurant

Review:

Tapenade has been our favorite restaurant for the nine years we have lived in San Diego. The food is always excellent, varied, seasonal and interesting. We have enjoyed introducing friends and our grandaughter to Tapenade. Tapenade is always a wonderful treat and is resaonably priced for the quality and type of food.

Title: Great Food and Service

Review: My wife and I went there to celebrate our 14 year anniversary. We picked this restaurant over several others that were rated the best in San Diego. Though we expected it to be good, we were really surprised at how great the service and food was and I was even more surprise at how reasonable the prices are. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Title: Great food, great service

Review: I went to Tapenade with my girlfriends for a college graduation dinner. We did feel a bit strange, seeing as we were most likely the youngest table there. But both the food and the service was fantastic! I recommend the Tasting Menu. It gives you a little bit of everything. I'll tell you, I don't have a super huge stomach, but I ate the WHOLE meal! It was perfectly spaced out. Perhaps the only thing a bit lacking was the atmosphere, but that's probably due to my tastes. Very business casual, a little bland, but still unique.

Title: Everyone has a bad night...

Review: I love french food. I have made several trips to France just to tour Michelin 3-star restaurants. I visited Tapenade Restuarant tonight for the first time, with great anticipation. I was let down. For over $100 per person, one should leave feeling that they just had an amazing experience. The food at Tapenade was excellent, but the service had serious problems. I ordered the tasting menu, with wine. My first course came out without the wine, and I almost finished it before I could catch my waiter to request it. The third course on my menu came out before the second, and so the wine that had been brought out was mis-paired. At the same time, the table next to us noted that they had received a dessert they hadn't ordered. After I had been served three courses of the five on my tasting menu, our waiter realized that my two guests hadn't recieved their appetizers - no food at all. The waiter was very nice, and apologetic, and we eventually recieved all of our food, and it was very good ... Full Review

Title: Much better!!

Review: OK, I'm happy now. After some issues with the service on my previous (and first) visit, my wife and I returned to Tapenade tonight and had the experience we expected. It was superb! Each unique and creative item on their (highly recommended) "Tasting Menu" was matched by a prompt and knowledgeable description of its preparation as it was placed before us. The service was attentive but unobtrusive, as it should be. They never missed replacing a used knife or fork, and waited until both my wife and I were finished before clearing our plates (I HATE the common practice in so many "fine" restaurants of grabbing my plate while my wife is still eating!) We went early, and it was still light out - I think the ambience would have matched the food a little better after dark. We'll just have to go back soon to check that out... First rate!
